Patient's question:
My husband had surgery due to hydrocele. How many days does hydrocele surgery require hospitalization?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis requires hospitalization for surgical manipulation of the tunica vaginalis under anesthesia. If everything goes smoothly, the hospital stay is generally no more than 10 days. Preoperatively, relevant tests need to be improved. Postoperatively, swelling of the affected scrotum may reappear, which is a normal phenomenon. Generally, with symptomatic treatment, the scrotal swelling will gradually decrease and eventually disappear. It is also necessary to avoid strenuous exercise. A positive mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
